KUALA LUMPUR:'' Regional markets fluctuated on Thursday, Dec 16 following the weaker overnight close at Wall Street as well as on some profit taking on renewed concerns about the Euro zone debt situation.
However, a few of the key markets advanced in early trade as investors went bargain hunting and snapped up stocks battered over the past few days during which indications of an overheating global market sent punters on a selling spree.
